Definitions

  • This invention relates to the control of electrical machines and is concerned more particularly, though not exclusively, with the control of flux switching electrical machines without a mechanical shaft position sensor.
  • Flux switching motors can be used in many applications, since they do not require the use of commutators or brushes in supplying electrical power to the rotor of the motor. Since these components are subject to significant wear, it is highly desirable to avoid their use.
  • Figure 1 shows a flux switching machine with 8 stator teeth and 4 rotor teeth as described in US Patent 6,788,020.
  • This motor contains a field winding in slots 1,3,5,7 of the stator 10 and an armature winding in slots 2,4,6,8 of the stator 10.
  • the rotor, 11, is a salient pole rotor made from laminated steel with 4 rotor teeth, 9.
  • This motor operates with direct current in the field winding and alternating current in the armature winding.
  • the direct current in the field winding creates a four pole stator flux pattern which links the armature winding in a positive or negative direction as the rotor turns from alignment with stator teeth 21,23,25,27 to alignment with stator teeth 22,24,26,28.
  • This alternating flux linking the armature generates an internal emf in the armature.
  • the machine can be used as a motor or generator by controlling the armature current to be in phase (motor) or out of phase (generator) with the armature emf.
  • This machine provides a simple and easy to manufacture structure and gives excellent control flexibility with easy variation of both field current and armature current.
  • the operation of the flux switching machine has been described in published papers. In a paper "Low cost high power density, flux switching machines and drives for power tools", in IEEE IAS Annual Meeting 2003 by H. Pollock, C. Pollock, R. Walter and B. Gorti, the operation of the machine with field winding in both series and shunt configurations relative to the armature switching circuit is described.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further flux switching machine, also from the prior art, as described in a paper "A permanent magnet flux switching motor for low energy axial fans", Y. Cheng; C. Pollock and H. Pollock; Fourtieth IAS Annual Meeting Conference Record, Volume 3, 2-6 Oct. 2005 Page(s):2168 - 2175.
  • This motor is the four pole version of a two pole machine first described in a paper "Design principles of flux switch alternator," S. E. Rauch and L. J. Johnson, AIEE Trans., vol. PAS-74, pp. 1261-1268, 1955.
  • the stator 30 of figure 2 employs four permanent magnet sections 31,33,35 and 37 interspersed between four laminated stator sections 32, 34, 36 and 38 each carrying a slot for the armature winding.
  • rotation of the rotor 11 causes a cyclical variation in the flux linking the armature winding and hence induces an emf in the armature winding.
  • the emf is proportional to speed and unlike the machine in Figure 1 the field flux produced by the permanent magnets cannot be altered significantly as there is no field winding.
  • the machine of Figure 2 therefore provides a machine of high efficiency since the magnetic field is produced without copper losses in a field winding.
  • Flux switching machines which incorporate field windings and permanent magnets are also possible as disclosed in UK Patent Applications 0721074.3 and 0721077.6. Operation of all the prior art flux switching machines including those shown in Figures 1 and 2 as a motor or as a generator requires the current in the armature winding to alternate in synchronism with the internal emf induced within the armature winding due to the field flux.
  • Armature current would be controlled during a positive and negative conduction block, the frequency of current reversals from a positive armature conduction block to a negative armature conduction block determined by the required speed of rotation of the rotor and the magnitude of the current in each armature conduction block determined by the torque requirement of the load, or may be simply limited by the speed of rotation of the machine and the size of the internal armature emf.
  • reversal of the direction of current flow in the windings of the armature windings must be synchronised with rotation of the rotor 11 relative to the stator 10.
  • WO 2004/025822 discloses a flux switching motor in which switching of the polarity of voltage pulses applied to the armature coils of the motor can be controlled without the use of a mechanical rotor position sensor. Since a flux switching motor has field coils and armature coils, each with a pitch double that of stator teeth, the magnetic fields generated in one coil link through an adjacent coil. As a result of this overlap, there is significant mutual inductance between the armature and field coils, the mutual inductance being dependent upon the rotational position of the rotor. This enables the rotational position of the rotor to be determined by monitoring voltages induced in the field windings as a result of current flow in the armature windings.
  • WO 2004/025822 In WO 2004/025822 methods of maintaining synchronism with rotation of the rotor without use of a mechanical shaft sensor were described for low speed operation and for high speed operation. At low motor speeds, when current is controlled by pulse width modulation of the armature switches, the modulation of the armature switches throughout each armature conduction block was employed to control the value of the armature current. This technique is common in electrical drives for machines of all types and is known as pulse width modulation (pwm). WO 2004/025822 used the fact that excitation of the armature switches induced a voltage in the field winding which was a function of the mutual coupling between the field winding and the armature winding which in turn was a function of position.
  • pwm pulse width modulation
  • the detection method found the middle of the armature conduction block. It is therefore possible to predict the time to the end of the conduction block. However, if a motor is accelerating or if the load is fluctuating within each revolution or if there is a sudden change in the load, the speed of the motor within each armature conduction block will change dramatically and a significant error can occur in the prediction of the point in time to reverse the armature conduction. The method disclosed in WO 2004/025822 therefore can result in the motor stalling easily if the armature current is reversed too early or too late as negative torque is produced.
  • the power source to the power electronic drive is derived from a rectified ac supply, it is possible to have significant variation in the dc supply voltage.
  • the field current will also contain a ripple current at the frequency of the rectified ac supply. This ripple current results in times when the current in the field winding rises continuously and then falls continuously as the ac voltage coming in to the rectifier decreases.
  • the position information due to the rate of change of field current induced from the mutual coupling of armature excitation pulses into the field winding can be masked completely by these external factors which cause increases and decreases in the gradient of the field current.
  • Measurement of the state of a comparator during the on-time of the switches returns a value of positive or negative gradient but does not distinguish between the sources of the field current gradient. Significant errors can therefore arise in the measurements and the control of the motor is not robust.
  • This problem was recognised in WO 2004/025822 and a brief suggestion was made to use a low pass filter to apply the low frequency variation of the field current to the reference terminal of the comparator to reduce this problem but such methods have been found to be difficult to set up with the filter having to be very accurately set up to distinguish between supply frequency variation and variations due to motoring operation over a very wide speed range, with frequencies above and below the supply frequency variations.
  • EP1783891 provides an improvement to WO 2004/025822 which is particularly beneficial when there is significant changes in the voltage across the armature winding.
  • EP1783891 recognises that the induced rate of change of field current is a function of both the armature supply voltage as well as the mutual inductance between armature and field windings.
  • EP1783891 uses a division method to eliminate the variation in armature supply voltage in a differentiator coil to leave a signal, the variation in which is strongly related to position.
  • the present invention will overcome the limitation of the prior art methods by specifically overcoming the limitation of EP1783891 which prevented the extraction of useful position information in the second half of the armature current conduction block.

  • the purpose of a sensorless controller for a flux switching motor is to determine the ideal points for the reversal of the armature current while also maintaining the required speed and torque.
  • Each cycle of armature current is divided into a positive armature conduction block and a negative armature conduction block.
  • each armature conduction block is divided into at least two regions, including a first region and an end region with optional additional regions interspersed between the first and end regions, characterised by the fact that average duty ratio of the inverter switches is higher in the first region than in the end region.
  • the first region will typically have a higher average current than the subsequent regions and the end region.
  • the main purpose of the first region is to establish sufficient armature current to ensure that the torque produced by the motor over the armature conduction block will be as close as possible to the torque required by the application controller.
  • the main purpose of the end region is to provide a suitable excitation source for the armature to induce the most appropriate feedback signals into the differentiator coil 107 and to monitor signals collected by the sensorless conditioning circuit with the aim of determining the most appropriate point in the rotor rotation to complete the end region and to reverse the polarity of the armature current and to start the first region of the next armature current.

  • Trace 201 shows that the gate signals to transistors 111 and 114 are taken to a high or "on" condition.
  • Current builds up rapidly in the armature winding in a positive direction (Trace 203). Initially the value of the armature current will be less than the field current as the field current (Trace 202) maintains a positive dc value during times when the armature current reverses.
  • the armature current reaches the field current value at point 210 the gradient of the armature current decreases sharply.
  • the field current and armature current are now equal and are connected in series across the supply voltage.
  • the diode 105 now stops conducting and there will be a sharp drop in the voltage applied across the armature winding as a significant voltage is dropped across the field winding.
  • the inductance of both armature and field windings and the internal back emf of the armature winding oppose the build up of the current and the rate of rise of current decreases and may in some cases become negative.
  • Significant torque is produced by the motor in this region because both the armature and field windings carry high levels of current and the rotor is part way between alignment with one set of stator teeth and the alternate set of stator teeth. It is advantageous to have high current levels in the middle of the armature current pulse and this requires high duty ratios on the armature switches in the first region of each armature conduction block.
  • the length of the first region and the duty cycle chosen for the armature switches in the first region is determined by the speed, supply voltage and the requirements of the application controller.
  • the duty ratio of the armature switches will be chosen so that the transition between the first and end regions occurs between 20% and 80% of the armature conduction block.
  • the duty ratio of the armature switches is reduced so that there are times when the armature current (Trace 203) drops below the level of the field current (Trace 202). This is very important for the most effective operation of the differentiating coil 107 and signal controller 121.

  • Each pwm cycle of the armature switches will have two or more states. In the typical example illustrated by Figure 6 there are three operating states in each pwm cycle.
  • the states are 250, 251 and 252.
  • State 250 occurs when both the switches in the armature inverter are switched off.
  • the armature current is decreasing and is below the level of the field current.
  • the field current (Trace 239) is flowing in the diode 105 and the voltage across the field winding is clamped to the diode forward voltage. State 250 will be referred to as an off-state. Most significantly, the field current actually rises during this time due to the mutually induced voltage between armature and field.
  • the negative armature voltage during an off-state in the end region of a positive armature conduction block induces a negative voltage within the field which- makes it easier for field current to flow causing a positive rate of change of field current.
  • State 251 immediately follows an off-state and occurs when the armature switches are turned back on to start to increase the current in the armature winding.
  • State 251 the difference between the field current and the armature current flows in the diode 105 and the voltage across the field winding is still clamped to the diode forward voltage.
  • State 251 will be referred to as an on-state.
  • the on-state causes a positive rate of change of armature current and the induced voltage in the field winding is also positive.
  • the positive induced voltage in the field winding opposes the flow of field current which therefore causes a negative rate of change of field current during state 251.
  • State 252 The final of the three states illustrated in Figure 6 is State 252 which occurs if the armature current becomes equal to the field current and the diode 105 is therefore pulled out of conduction.
  • Trace 241 is typical of the voltage induced in the secondary of a differentiator coil 107 coupled to a conductor carrying the field current. This voltage is representative of the rate of change of field current. The rate of change of field current is controlled by two significant factors :
  • any change in the voltage induced in the secondary of a differentiator coil between states 250 and 251 is due to the change in the armature voltage between the off-state and the on-state. If the motor is running from a relatively constant dc source the magnitude of any change in the voltage induced in a differentiator coil between an off-state and an on state will be representative of the mutual coupling between armature and field windings.
  • the signal controller can therefore determine the maximum value of the mutual coupling by following the flowchart in Figure 7. After the first and intermediate regions of the armature conduction block have been completed, the end region is started and one or both armature switches will be turned off to effect a step reduction in the applied armature voltage, to enter an off-state 250. During state 250 the voltage across the differentiator coil 107 is measured, V 2 So- After the prescribed duration of the off-state 250 one or both armature switches will be turned back on to create a positive step change in the armature voltage and initiate the on- state.
  • This on-state voltage is measured and stored as V 25 ;.
  • the measurement of the voltages can be conveniently achieved using a microcontroller and analogue to digital converter or by analogue circuit techniques.
  • the difference between voltages V 250 and V 251 is then processed to give :
  • Vk y off-state ⁇ V on-state where k represents the kxh PWM cycle in the end region.
  • V 251 Since the on-state reading, V 251 , is becoming more negative and the off-state reading, V 250 , is becoming more positive, V k will reach a positive maximum at the point when the armature excitation should be reversed. If Vj > V k .j then it is known that the mutual coupling is still increasing in magnitude towards the maximum. The end region has not been completed and a further pwm cycle can continue.
  • the armature current may reach the field current value and state 251 will give way to state 252.
  • Measurement of the differentiator coil voltage V 252 is not useful to extract position as the rate of change of field current is the same as the rate of change of armature current.
  • the step change in the differentiator coil voltage which occurs between state 251 and state 252 is due to the diode around the field coming out of conduction and not due to any change in armature switching state.
  • V off- stat e and V on . state vary with the mutual inductance characteristic the maximum or minimum of the mutual inductance characteristic can be determined from a sequence of only one of these readings, though some signal integrity will be lost.
  • One important feature of this invention is the use of the difference between the on-state measurement and the off-state in the search for the maximum value. This automatically eliminates any influence of rates of change of field current due to other circuit voltages since comparison of the rate of change of field current immediately before and immediately after an armature switching transition can be attributed to that armature switching event. This is achieved by the reduction in duty ratio of the armature switches during the end region relative to the first region.

  • a line fitting equation can be used to link together a number of sample measurements and to calculate the gradient of the line.
  • a maximum or minimum can then be reliably determined by a change in sign of the gradient.
  • This aspect of the invention is particularly useful at low speeds. At low speeds there can be very small difference between the measurements taken in successive switching cycles as there is a very small change in the rotor angle. Due to the limited resolution of the analogue to digital converters, electrical noise may create changes in measurements greater than the real changes being measured. By creating a best line of fit through a sequence of readings, for example 11 or 13 readings, the electrical noise will be smoothed out and the trend in the signal can be observed with more confidence. As the speed of the motor increases and the time duration of the end region decreases it is convenient to reduce the number of points in the best line of fit until individual readings are used as described with reference to Figure 6.
  • the line fitting techniques are also useful if the position of reversal of the armature current is to be adjusted to be earlier or later than the actual maximum or minimum of the mutual inductance characteristic. Rather than triggering the armature current reversal when the best line of fit has zero gradient the trigger level can be set to be before or after the gradient of the best line of fit passes through zero. This is much more reliable than setting a particular value of mutual inductance to trigger a reversal since absolute values are subject to measurement inaccuracy, temperature variations, component tolerances etc. The method according to this invention can therefore work across a wide range of motor tolerances and operating temperatures without compensation.
  • AU aspects of the invention described have employed a differentiator coil as a convenient way of determining the rate of change of current in a winding.
  • the invention can be applied equally well to a circuit which determines the rate of change of current using other methods. This may comprise steps of measuring the current at two or more successive intervals and determining the change in the current over these intervals. Alternatively an analogue differentiator circuit can be used.
  • Another suitable method to obtain the rate of change of a current is to measure the time taken for the current to change by a preset amount. This can be a useful method for use in a low cost microcontroller where a timer is readily available.
  • FIG 11 shows the Sensorless Conditioning Circuit 120 in more detail.
  • the secondary winding 109 of the differentiator coil 107 has two terminals.
  • the first terminal would typically be connected to a zero or reference voltage 300 which ensures that a dc offset can be added to the differentiator coil output voltage on the second terminal. Since the voltage induced across the terminals of the differentiator coil secondary winding 109 is both positive and negative it is useful to add an offset 300 to make the signal always positive. This is because the measurement of the signal magnitude in the signal controller 121 is usually achieved with an analogue to digital converter with a positive voltage range. The dc offset 300 therefore allows positive and negative rates of change of field current to be measured in a simple analogue to digital converter.
  • the signal at the second (positive) terminal of the secondary winding 109 may also pass through a filter and/or attenuation/amplification block 301 before it is passed to the signal controller 121. Since the signal controller subtracts successive signals the dc offset is eliminated from the measurements.
  • the sensorless conditioning unit may also receive a signal 303 which may also pass through a block 302. Block 302 may contain filters, amplifiers or attenuators and may also add or subtract voltage offsets.
  • the signal 303 may be representative of the dc supply voltage or the armature supply voltage. It may also be a signal representative of the rate of change of current in the armature winding since it is known that the rate of change of current in the armature winding is the cause of the induced voltage in the field winding.
  • the aspects of the invention can be applied to flux switching motors with more than one armature winding.
  • the machines illustrated are effectively single phase machines as, whilst the armature is made up of multiple coils around the machine, there is one armature winding and single phase ac voltage is induced in the armature winding.

  • each of the three armature phases and the field is displaced from the other by 120° electrical.
  • Each of the three armature phases will have a mutual inductance variation which is displaced from the others by 120° electrical.
  • Application of the invention to such machines follows exactly the same principles taking care to sample the rate of change of field current at times when the armature switching event which caused the induced effect in the field is known and can be related to the mutual inductance of a single armature phase or a pair of series connected armature phases.
  • the three phases will be connected to a three phase inverter and that the armatures will be star or delta connected.
  • switching events in the inverter will change the voltage across two armature phase windings simultaneously.
  • the induced effect in the field winding will then be the combined effect of the mutual coupling between both armature phases and the field winding.
  • the signal controller will then contain the additional step of calculating the individual mutual couplings.
